Postpartum follow-up screening plays a vital role in early detection and prevention, yet uptake remains low in many regions of India, including Telangana.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n To assess the perception toward postpartum diabetes screening among women with prior GDM and to estimate the proportion of women who underwent timely follow-up testing.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A cross-sectional mixed-method study was conducted among 90 GDM-diagnosed women from two public tertiary hospitals in the Warangal district. Data were collected through a structured telephonic questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. In-depth interviews with six healthcare providers were conducted to explore system-level insights.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Although 85.56% of participants underwent blood sugar testing postpartum, only 53.33% did so after discharge, and just 40% met the recommended \u22656-week follow-up timeline. Home-based testing was most common (47.92%), and only 4.17% utilized public health facilities. Women advised by doctors were significantly more likely to perceive screening as necessary (OR: 33.2,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.001).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n There is a pressing need to strengthen postpartum diabetes follow-up through improved provider counseling, structured recall systems, and community health worker involvement.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_946_25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,16]],"date-time":"2026-02-16T16:03:52Z","timestamp":1771257832000},"page":"S123-S125","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Mixed-Method Study on Perception Toward Postpartum Follow-Up Screening for Diabetes among Women Diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Warangal District, Telangana"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Yerrolla","family":"Jyotsna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Professional, Hyderabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yashika","family":"Sheetal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Saraswati Medical College, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University, Unnao, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Srinath","family":"Nagapurkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Program Officer, National Health Mission Telangana, Indian Institute of Public Health Hyderabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heena D.","family":"Tiwari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programme Officer, Blood Cell, Commisionerate of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Telangana, Hyderabad, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ramita","family":"Sood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, AMC Dental College and Hospital, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anil M.","family":"Managutti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of OMFS, Narsinhbhai Patel Dental College and Hospital, Sankalchand Patel University, Visnagar, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rahul","family":"Tiwari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of OMFS, Narsinhbhai Patel Dental College and Hospital, Sankalchand Patel University, Visnagar, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20260310","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"22","DOI":"10.1186\/1758-5996-5-22","article-title":"Historical facts of screening and diagnosing diabetes in pregnancy","volume":"5","author":"Negrato","year":"2013","journal-title":"Diabetol Metab Syndr"},{"key":"R7-20260310","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"804","DOI":"10.2337\/dc09-1679","article-title":"Inflammation and the incidence of type 2 diabetes: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)","volume":"33","author":"Bertoni","year":"2010","journal-title":"Diabetes Care"},{"key":"R8-20260310","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"367","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-018-2005-9","article-title":"Evaluation of neonatal and maternal morbidity in mothers with gestational diabetes: A population-based study","volume":"18","author":"Domanski","year":"2018","journal-title":"BMC Pregnancy Childbirth"},{"key":"R9-20260310","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0215372","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0215372","article-title":"Risk factors for gestational diabetes: An umbrella review of meta-analyses of observational studies","volume":"14","author":"Giannakou","year":"2019","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"R10-20260310","first-page":"329","article-title":"Prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus in South India (Tamil Nadu) -
